Welcome Back to the 2025–2026 School Year High Desert Middle School

“Tiger Legacy – Where Every Day Counts and Kindness Leads the Way”

Dear High Desert Middle School Parents, Students, Staff, and Community,

I am truly honored to continue serving as the principal of High Desert Middle School. As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, I remain committed to fostering an environment where every student is empowered to reach their full potential in a safe, supportive, and caring atmosphere.

This year, we proudly embrace our school-wide motto: “Tiger Pride!” It serves as a daily reminder of our commitment to planting the seeds of success, nurturing academic achievement, and upholding the values of innovation, integrity, and resilience that define our Tiger Legacy.

Our collective vision centers on creating a collaborative and inclusive learning environment where every day matters, and where kindness and respect guide our interactions. We are all in this together — students, staff, families, and community — working hand in hand to ensure that our children not only excel academically but grow into thoughtful, compassionate individuals who are ready to face the future with confidence.

I encourage our families to stay actively engaged, our students to take pride in their efforts, and our staff to continue inspiring excellence. Together, we will build on the strong foundation of our school and make this year one of growth, learning, and shared success.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support. Let’s make 2025–2026 a year to remember — Tiger Strong and Future Ready!

With gratitude and Tiger Pride,

Robert C. Armenta Principal, High Desert Middle School
